"Don't pretend like it's not important," said Tianara flatly. "Don't act like it doesn't matter that you're in pain. It hurt you." She pushed away her heavy dark hair and stood up, beginning to pace the cabin confines. She felt sheltered in here normally, but today it felt a little claustrophobic.
"The thing will come back," she said abruptly, still walking. "Why wouldn't it? Whatever it came for, it didn't get." She was still pacing, still thinking aloud. It was easier for her that way. "We'd know if it got what it came for, I think. It would be gone, and that...taint...wouldn't still be in the forest."
Which it was.
"But it won't hurt you again," she said, still pacing. "We don't have to read its thoughts to know what it wants - we can figure that out from its actions. If we work on it together, or if..." She trailed off. "Feel free to chime in any time. I'm just babbling."
She kept walking while she talked, her mind chewing at the stubborn problem of what do we do now?

Tianara paused mid-step, one foot still in the air. Seeming not to notice, she swiveled her head to face him. "Looking for something," she muttered, distracted. "Looking for something. And if it was examining you, then you bet it can sense magical energy - one is a basic step to the other."
Finishing her step, she started pacing again, but now her thoughts were on a different track. "Looking for something. And you said it was toying with you - definitely not something we want finding whatever it's looking for."
Pushing her hands into her pockets, she continued to mutter to herself and to Joshua. "It can think, obviously, or you wouldn't have been able to hear it. Something malevolent and intelligent and somehow related to the chained thing that can sense magical energy..." She trailed off. "And it came to the cove. It didn't take its time getting here, or I would have sensed it a long time ago." She could still almost taste the taint in the air. "It came here, and it came here for a reason."
She kept mumbling, but now she was too quiet to be understood, and had mostly switched over to her own language anyway. It was easier to think in her native tongue.

Joshua's frown deepened with every point she brought up. He was liking this less and less. If it was searching for magical energy, on the land, was it searching for the ocean children? He voiced the thought, worried. "Tianara....The ocean children. If it was examining me, and Katalina said I was acquiring the faintest trace, like the ocean children do, then what if that's what it's looking for? They would have a much stronger aura than me, yes. But if that's what it's looking for, that explains it examining me and dismissing me. Yes, I have the faint aura, but it's not strong enough to be an ocean child."
